A character property for discerning buyers

Raukapuka Homestead is a stunning prestigious character property that epitomises the grace and charm of its era, exuding a rare timeless elegance unobtainable from modern builds.

The homestead was built in 1905 and was designed by renowned Architect James Turnbull, who was responsible for many of South Canterbury's most significant properties from the 1890's on, including Timaru's Aigantighe Art Gallery.

The current owners have been honoured custodians, and have thoughtfully modernised and extended the homestead, and enhanced the landscaping during their 23 year tenure. They now present prospective buyers with a very rare opportunity to acquire one of South Canterbury's most substantial stately properties.

Located on the very edge of the Geraldine Village, and accessed by a gorgeous tree lined driveway, is the 370m2 Edwardian Homestead set among just over 6ha's including established landscaped grounds and several well fenced paddocks, providing rural and mountain views.

Upon arriving at Raukapuka Homestead, one is greeted via a magnificent lead light front door a gentry nod to the property's significance that then opens to a welcoming wide central hallway from which an array of well-appointed character brimming rooms can be accessed. The large formal lounge is perfect for entertaining guests and is orientated well to enjoy sun and views with the added benefit of indoor-outdoor flow. The formal dining room is ideal for dinner parties and family gatherings, as is the adjacent family lounge. The open plan kitchen and family dining area forms the heart of the homestead being functional with direct access to the internal laundry, third toilet, the private conservatory and courtyard, and the separate external double garage. The east wing of the homestead comprises of the generous master bedroom with its own walk in wardrobe, and tiled ensuite with underfloor heating. The west wing comprises of four other bedrooms, an office, and a tiled family bathroom with underfloor heating. Two heat pumps, a series of ornate open fires, and a gas fire ensure year round comfort.

Rakapuka Homestead sits beautifully among the complementary well-presented English gardens, that provide ample opportunities for peaceful enjoyment, family fun or hosting large gatherings that can utilise the outdoor entertaining area, the tennis court, petanque court or play spaces. There is also an array of sheds and outbuildings, vegetables gardens, and well fenced paddocks suitable for a range of stock.

This prestigious property, currently adored as a wonderful family home that also has the potential for a range of business ventures such as a function centre, guest accommodation, health retreat, artist retreat and more.

Properties of this calibre rarely come to the market, discerning buyers are invited to arrange a private viewing.
